Slow Cooker Mexican Shredded Beef

This is of my favorite recipes to make because the fam LOVES it and it's easy peasy. The beef slow cooks all day so the spices blend with the meat and the aroma in the house is fabulous.

Then, you get to enjoy juicy, perfectly seasoned, tender beef. Feel free to create so many recipe ideas, from tacos, quesadillas, burritos to beef enchiladas, and casseroles.

Best Cut of Beef

Rump roast is my favorite cut for this recipe. A tougher cut of meat that holds up in slow cooking. Chuck roast and bottom round are also great with this recipe. I refer to Beef It's What's for Dinners website for tips on cuts of beef.

Storage and Freezer Info

This is an easy recipe to make ahead of time, up to 2-3 days. It can be kept in the fridge in a covered container. The shredded beef freezes really well. My tip, when a roast is on sale I always buy one or two for this recipe to keep in the freezer. Defrost overnight in the fridge and use the beef in any of your favorite Mexican recipes like a taco casserole.

Pro Tips

• Trim the beef of excess fat before seasoning.
• Using the slow cooker, cook on low about 8 hours and high, 4 hours. The meat will be tender and shred easily.
• Don't have a slow cooker, stovetop instructions included in the recipe.
• Browning the meat is an extra step but it adds amazing flavor to the meat. I have made this by placing the meat in the slow cooker without browning. It is very good but I love that added flavor from browning.
• To shred the beef, use either meat claws or two forks to pull the meat apart.
